(By the time I finish writing this, the pages will have overflown, as I'm sure, lol)
First off, I'd like to start by saying everyone is entitled to their own opinion. They can like and dislike whatever they want as it is their own will to do so. You can fuss about it all you want, but more than likely it will not change anything, similar to how you will not change your beliefs just because someone "say's so."
So certain people disagree, but that is no reason to go into a passionate fit. There are times to stand your ground and times when you just have to walk passed it. If you don't like something, then don't certainly go looking for trouble dealing with it. If you know something doesn't appeal to you, then have the decency to over look it, no one wants to start a fight. Needless to say, many others don't want to get caught in the line of fire.
It is definitely not a "sin" not to like
OoT. You shouldn't generalize things like that, it can start many arguments between beliefs. Leave stupidity to the world leaders, please (of course, that was meant as a mere joke). So someone doesn't like
OoT, that gives you no right to slap them across the face and tell them "that's a no-no!" Why can't they? Think of it this way, what if someone said it was a sin to dislike Wind Waker... and you just happened to, oh let's say-- dislike it. Wouldn't you feel offended that other people are pushing your voice aside and galavanting around like they are right and you are wrong?
You also have to realize it's in human nature for people to disagree on a few things. Just accept the fact that no one will ever have the a perfect, one-hundred percent, support behind them. Just look at the world today! Many people want world peace, but there are stupid people still out there causing chaos because they simply don't agree. Do you *want* to be like that? To blindly hate others for an opinion differing from that of yours? I feel it childish and it is ill-advised to make a mockery out of other's views.
You also must have realized by now that a lot of people are offended when you say "people like us are going to get them
OoT haters!!" Well geez, calm down. Your drastic words are very animalistic and are attacking others... it's almost frightening. Don't cause yourself that humiliation and just calmly state your opinion and deal with it like a mature adult.
I, myself, am a big fan of Ocarina of Time. However, I don't like it when people start going phsycotic about it. Wind Waker wasn't a bad game, in my opinion. It had attributes
OoT didn't have, and it seemed very lively to the point where Ocarina could not be. So the cel-shading didn't appeal to some, it was a way for Nintendo to try something new. Although I immensly disliked Link's design, the art all together was a great masterpiece. It's use of few vibrant colors to create 3D was new, and to say the least, brilliant. Times change and games change. That's a fact of life, my friend.
Ocarina had it's glory way back when it first met it's big change too. Can you imagine the faces of the people that first played Ocarina after many years of 2D animation on snes? It was a jaw dropper, what with it's all new graphics and controls. Simply amazing.
And how can you say
TP might not be as good? No one has any proof of how
TP might or might not match up to Ocarina because no one has ever played the game yet. No one even owns it. No one knows much about anything in that game... you shouldn't make a statement off of the little facts given. If
TP just so happens to be better than you imagined, you'll regret ever saying it wouldn't be. Humiliation is the worst, after all.
I understand that
OoT is close to your heart because it was your first game, just as
ALttP is close to my heart, being my first game... but I don't go around telling people
ALttP was the best of all the games and that if anyone disagreed, I'd show them otherwise. That's violating a human's natural rights.
Like I said before, not everyone is going to agree with you. Can you see all the Malon x Link fans and Zelda x Link fans flaming each other here and there because of it? I think that's just foolish. If in the case you don't agree with something, or have an opinion you want to share, do so in the right manner and control your actions. Unless, that is, you *want* to start a fight. In that case, go right ahead, because I won't be here by then.
I don't intend to offend anyone by this, but I hope I cleared up a few things.
